OF

DR. SAMUEL JOHNSON.

SELECTED FROM HIS PROSE WRITINGS

BY

W. A. CLOUSTON,

"His moral precepts are practical; for they are drawn from an intimate ac-
quaintance with human nature. His maxims carry conviction; for they are
formed on the basis of common-sense and a very attentive and minute survey of
real life."-BoOSWELL'S Life of Johnson.

"Some readers delight in abstracts and epitomes."-Rambler.
